Design goals for Psionic subclasses – The Mike Mearls Happy Fun Hour

I’m feeling happy with psionics at this stage – concept is that a psionic cantrip creates a virtual construct that you then use as-is for cantrip-level power, or augment with spell slots to achieve greater effects.

Example: As an action I use Psionic Eye, a cantrip that gives me a perception buff and uses concentration. I can burn a 1st level slot for the eye to reveal invisible or hidden creatures within 10 feet of me for 1 minute.

So is it safe to say that unearthed arcana psionic mechanics are pretty much scrapped? Mostly – will pick through to find stuff, but the feedback was just too strong against it to push ahead on that path. However, I want to capture the concepts covered there as much as I can.
